You can then select what you'd like to sync using your MobileMe account

You'll need to activate the 'Find my phone' feature in the Mail, Contacts, Calendars settings if you want to be able to find your phone when it's lost or stolen. From here, head to Fetch New Data and ensure it's turned on

If you already have contacts and calendars saved on your iPad, you can merge these with the MobileMe account - you'll be asked if you'd like to do this when you set the account up.

If you have any other kind of email to set up on your device, select Other from the Add Account settings menu and follow the instructions for Google/Yahoo Mail.
